    I would love to give you a ride in my car sometime. I feel a bit clueless as to what a proper m52 should be like haha. Feels pretty tidy thouh.

    I have a 1991 318is. This summer I swapped in an OBDI M52B28 with a 50k mile ZF trans. There are still some kinks to work out, but it's an awesome car so far.

    The real reason I'm posting:

    I'm having an interesting brake problem.

    When I did my engine swap, I drilled new holes thus relocating the booster to the drivers side .5". All seemed well. I can drive on the highway long distance no problem. But. If I rip around town for say 30 mins (using the brakes more often than highway, obviously) ALL FOUR BRAKES LOCK UP. Brake pedal/clevis/pushrod seem to be adjusted correctly. I even threaded the pushrod further out than the manual suggests this morning. After around 30 mins of driving, I pulled into the driveway with all 4 brakes hung up. Brake booster doesn't seem to have any leaks, I tested by removing the vacuum hose on the front and plugging it, idles just the same. If you have any ideas... please share. I'll probably buy a master and booster from gunmetalgrey... but just in case anyone has a clue I figured I'd ask.

    If more information is needed, I'm sure I can get it for you.

    I was all stoked to come now that I moved to Oshkosh and my swap is done! and then I realized it was over.... SO SO SAD. Let's do another soon... :)
